PURPOSE: To compare KINETICS, KINEMATICS, and MUSCLE ACTIVITY among the sprint start, sled pulling, and CMJ

NOTES :
KINEMATICS - analyses of movement parameters such as velocity, acceleration etc.
KINETICS - involve the forces that will govern those parameters, such as impulse, torque etc.
In short, kinematics-kinetics study movement in the aspect of movement patterns (kinematics), and forces that govern such patterns (kinetics).

They used electromyography (EMG) to study muscle activity. EMG? it is a tool to assess electrical activity produced by muscles (check muscle activity).

WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU GOING TO ADDRESS HERE (Applications in training and actual performance setting) ?

1) It is important to know how different exercises used by sprinters RELATE to the SPRINT START.

RESULTS
1) Usage of the sled pulling and CMJ in training can be recommended to
give positive changes in the activation of gluteus maximus (very crucial during starting using the blocks) during the block start

2) Sled pulling may be effective to improve the sprint block start.

3) Countermovement Jump may be effective to improve the sprint block start.

WHY? high SPECIFICITY in the angular velocities. SIMILAR movement pattern. Have got positive transfer here. Positive transfer could mean to improved ability in the sprint block start from those exercises.

The 27th edition of Southeast Asian (SEA) games commenced on 11th of December, ends on 22nd at the city of Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar. But the track and field athletics got off a real start on the 15th and ended today (19th) at Wunna Theikdi Stadium.

World championships representatives and the defending champions were among those in action, with young athletes from Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam were also in the spotlight at the biennial multi-sports events.

The athletes staged the show with standards in many events were rather high including new Games Records (GR) in 8 events, 6 new SEA Area Records (SAR), 5 new SEA Junior Records (SAJR), 35 new National Records (NR), 17 new National Junior Records (NJR), as well as SEA Regional 2013 best performers in 25 events (10 season bests and 2 equalled in men events, and 15 season bests in women events), and dozens of Personal Bests (PB).

Eleven individuals have won more than one gold medal including youngster Jirapong Meenapra of Thailand who have got three. The-20-year-old from Suratthani arrived at the games as a SEA leader in sprint events, 100m (10.37, PB), and 200m (21.29).

The showdown started with the 4x100m relay in day 2, where he was assigned to run the 3rd leg. With excellent baton exchange, team Thailand secured the gold (39.75) they lost in 2011 to team Indonesia that finished in third (40.15) here. Team Singapore trailed in second for silver (39.79). In the next day, the finalist of 2010 Youth Olympic Games was made to work hard as he had a slow start in the blue riband event but he quickly recovered by a fast finishing to blaze home in style in a time of 10.48 (+0.7), ahead of Indonesia’s Iswandi (10.51), and Singapore’s Muhamad Amiruddin Jamal (10.55).

"I was in lane five and was sandwiched by Indonesian runners in lane four and lane six, and that made me feel uncomfortable but I managed to win," said Jirapong who proudly celebrates the victory with Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt's trademark bow and arrow pose. A day later, he repeated the feat winning the 200m comfortably in 21.29 (-0.1).

For a record, Thailand had lost the sprints 100m and 200m gold to Indonesia in the previous three editions.

Wassana Winatho of Thailand has defended her Asian heptathlon title in July, and she probably not spent much effort en route to add on another title in the seven-discipline event for fifth consecutive time in SEA Games, where she tallied 5556 pts ahead of the Philippine’s Narcisa Atienza who had 5241 pts.

But a day later, (day 3), the eleven-time SEA Games gold medallist had a very tough race with a close and thrilling neck to neck battle with Vietnam’s Quach Thi Lan (58.93) who held the lead entering the last hurdle. Both collapsed in exhaustion at the finish line, and being stretchered out of the track.

In October’s Malaysia open it was the 18-year-old Thi Lan who beat Winatho comfortably, 57.74 over 58.94. Along with the victories, Winatho now has a total of 13 SEA Games gold in hands, and only Myanmar’s Jennifer Tin Lay and the Philippine’s Elma Muros-Posadas have earned more gold from SEA Games with 15 each.

Asian games and Asian championships medallist Vu Thi Huong of Vietnam ruled the women’s sprints. In 100m, she pulled away from the field in the mid-way, and winning comfortably in 11.59 (-0.2).

Similar style and strategy she did to win the 200m in 23.55 (+0.1), making it eight in her accumulation of SEA Games gold since the first one she achieved in 2005. Thailand’s Neeranuch Klomdee took silver in both events in 11.85 and 24.02 respectively.

Having won the 4x100m (44.42) earlier, together with Phatsorn Jaksuninkorn (1st) Tassaporn Wannakit (3rd), and Nongnuch Sanrat (4th), 33-year-old Neeranuch who has been representing Thailand for 16 years has a total of eight gold from SEA Games including the 100m gold she won in 2003.

Phyu War Thet and Triyaningsih (antarafoto)

Triyaningsih of Indonesia has a marathon record of 2:31:49, and she would beat many of men runners in these games, but she decided to not take part marathon as part of winning strategy for 5000m and 10000m.

Even so, Myanmar’s Phyu War Thet was well prepared to make the hosts proud by winning the women's 5000m in day 3 with a time of 16:06.01, a new NR. Triyaningsih had to settle for silver (16:24.36) after she was outpaced on the last lap by the Burmese.

Two days later Triyaningsih who stands 4’11” tall crossed the 10000m line to grab gold medal (32:34.68) with Phyu War who left only several metres behind took silver (34:39.32), but later at the day she added 1500m silver.

Impressive Performances

The women’s triple jump saw first three athletes surpassed GR, NR, and SAR in spite jumping into headwinds. Indonesia’s Maria Natalia Londa who broke NR in September (14.11) has registered 14.17 (-0.7) to clinch gold. Two-time SEA Games champion Thitima Muangjan of Thailand was close behind in 14.16 for silver, while defending champion Tran Hue Hoa of Vietnam settling for bronze in 14.12.

Maria who have won 2 silver in 2011 games have produced a long jump effort of 6.39 (+0.2) to easily win her second gold medal while Thailand’s Thitima Muangjan again finished in second with 6.24 (-0.6).

Saw Mar Lar Nwe (thethao)

The men’s triple jump was equally impressive. Malaysia’s Muhammad Hakimi Ismail took the lead with a jump of 16.44 (+0.6) in his fourth attempt to break NR.

Vietnam’s Nguyen Van Hung whose PB was 16.41 replied with a stunning leap of 16.67 (+1.3), bettering the GR, NR, and SAR, and took away the gold as the Malaysian unable to improve his mark in final attempts and satisfied for silver. Defending champion Theerayut Philakong of Thailand had to be content with a bronze after registering 16.26 (+0.5).

After being spurred on by the home crowd, Myanmar’s Saw Mar Lar Nwe crossed the finish line as a new champion of women’s 20km walk, seizing the title from defending champion Nguyen Thi Thanh Phuc of Vietnam. Saw Mar Lar Nwe clocked a time of 1:35:03, obliterated her NR by almost 7 minutes as well as a new GR.

Nguyen Thi Thanh Phuc who has a PB of 1:33:36 she set in London Olympics stopped the clock at 1:37:08. These two marks are within the World championships qualifying standards.

All other SEA Area Records by Thais
Thailand’s Jamras Rittidet defended his title for third consecutive times and renewed his own GR and NR (13.77) in a time of 13.72 (-0.3), which erased Nur Herman Majid’s SAR 13.73 in 1994 Asian Games as well. Malaysia’s Rayzam Shah Wan Sofian, the gold medallist in 2007 took silver in 14-flat and Laos’s Anousone Xaysa surprisingly took the bronze with a new NR time of 14.17.

Hussadin Rodmanee finished second in 75.46, an effort that would renew all the aforesaid records as well.

In men’s hammer, three athletes maintained their positions from 2011 but have improved on their marks. Thailand’s Tantipong Phetchaiya hurled the iron ball at a distance of 62.23, which is a new GR, NR, and SAR.

Maintains dominance

Zhang Guirong (singaporesportsfan)

Thailand’s Kreeta Sintawacheewa (PB 5.24) had no problem clearing 5.15 bar on his first attempt to win the pole vault gold for the third consecutive time. The 24-year-old Thai made three attempts of 5.22 which would break his own games record (5.21) but he failed to do so. Silver medallist Iskandar Alwi of Malaysia failed on all three attempts of 5.15 but manage to break NR by 9cm with a height of 5.10.

Indonesia’s Dedeh Erawati (34) still going strong in the women’s 100mh.

A former Asian champion and seven-time SEA Games champion Truong Thanh Hang of Vietnam was absent as she is recovering from a tragic road accident last year. But team Vietnam seems to be not affected at all as they took home the gold from both women’s 800m and 1500m through Do Thi Thao who clocked times of 2:05.52 and 4:22.63 respectively.

Sweater memories

Malaysia’s Mohd Jironi Riduan waited since 2007 to eventually taste gold, and interestingly he got two. He was at eight position in the first lap of the men’s 800m. But the 27-year-old teacher-cum-coach at sports school in Johore Malaysia came out of nowhere and bursting to the line to win the race and gold in 1:50.98, defeating the Philippine’s Mervin Guarte (1:51.51) and defending champion Vietnam’s Duong Van Thai (1:51.62).

Two days later in 1500m, both Jironi and Van Thai were awarded joint gold medallist after posting similar time following a dead heat. “This is the best achievement of my career, I struggled to juggle my job and competition commitments, Jironi told NSTP.”

Vietnam’s Nguyen Van Lai captured two gold medals in the men’s 5000m (14:19.35) and 10000m (29:44.82), both efforts destroyed the NRs. These achievements also mark the first time that a Vietnamese has won a gold medal in SEA Games for 5000m and 10000m.

Nguyen Van Lai (thethao247)

The Philippine’s Henry Dagmil (PB 7.99) took home his third long jump title in a fine leap of 7.80 despite against a strong headwind (-2.1). The 32-year-old Olympian dethroned Thailand’s Supanara Sukahvasti na Ayudhaya (PB 8.05) after his best jump of 7.71 (-1.7) was not sufficient to stop the Filipino. Supanara won the last two SEA Games editions.
